John Nichols's The Progresses of Queen Elizabeth (1788-1823) has
long been an indispensable reference tool for scholars working on
Elizabethan court and culture - despite the serious limitations of
an antiquarian edition now two centuries old. This old-spelling
edition of the early modern materials contained in Nichols's
Progresses is edited to high and consistent standards, and based on
a critical re-examination of printed and manuscript sources. It is
structured by a narrative of the two sets of annual progresses
undertaken by Queen Elizabeth I: the 'summer progresses, ' when
Elizabeth travelled throughout southern England and the Midlands,
visiting cities as far afield as Bristol, Coventry, Norwich, and
Southampton; and the 'winter progresses, ' when Elizabeth moved
between her residences in and around London, including Richmond,
Hampton Court, and Whitehall. New editions of the major progress
entertainments - Kenilworth, Woodstock, Elvetham, Cowdray,
Ditchley, and Harefield - are set alongside accounts of civic
receptions, tilts and Accession Day entertainments, and
non-dramatic texts, many of which have not been published since
Nichols, including verses delivered by Eton scholars before the
Queen (1563); John Lesley's Oratio (1574); Gabriel Harvey's
Gratulationum Valdinensium (1578); and the Oxford and Cambridge
verses on the death of Queen Elizabeth (1603). The editions are
supported by translations of all non-English material, full
scholarly annotation, illustrations, and maps. This will make John
Nichols's The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth:
A New Edition of the Early Modern Sources the most comprehensive
collection of early modern texts pertaining to the court and
culture of Queen Elizabeth.
Volume III covers the years from 1579 to 1595.
